Mariah was fabricated by a company in Canada which had 1000 cars that they rented to movie companies. When we acquired Mariah we were told she was in the movie 'Chicago'.

Apparently Mariah started out as a 1930? Chevrolet automobile and modified to be a Chicago PaddyWagon, then morphed into a WW I ambulance and painted white. To look like a WW I vehicle, the Ford Model 'T' fenders and windshield were installed along with one 1912 and one 1913 Cadillac headlight, and bumpers from some period car or truck.

Mariah has new tires and tubes.

This view of the engine clearly shows an alternator installed in place of the old generator.

For ease of starting, the system was converted to 12v. Are the headlights 12v? I don't really know because I have never attempted to drive Mariah at night.

New plugs, points, condenser, cap, and wires have been installed.

The starter was rebuilt.

An electric fuel pump is also installed, and a master power switch.

Below you can see the engine serial number.

Below is the casting number on the crankcase

Here you see the front of the Model 'T' fender.

This appears to be the original radiator and shell....
